I've always slightly harboured a dream of making a film, a documentary feature. Somehow, I just got into a way of working a routine of making TV docs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, I want to do everything in sort of a documentary style, ever since I started in the '80s.
Maybe if I found something I was really passionate about, which is entirely possible, I would make another documentary, but it's not a good career choice for anybody. I don't recommend it.
When I first came to Hollywood, I used to dream of doing films and escaping television.
I did documentaries for maybe 10 years before I turned to fiction films.
One of the reasons to do documentaries is that. There's more sense of creating something, more sense of my own soul in the documentaries than in movies, because I don't write the movies I do.
There's something very dreamlike about film, and I will always be very fascinated by that, and I'm always tempted to go in that direction.
Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.
I've always been a fiction filmmaker and I've been heading in the direction of fiction filmmaking, doing documentaries along the way.
The luxury that I have is I'm not career-minded, I just live from one film to the next. For a time, I was making documentaries, and all my documentaries were winning awards and stuff, and then I lost interest in documentaries.
I don't think I'll be making documentaries my whole life.
